the Jconcepts b4.1 rear hexes will work perfectly. (jconcepts does not make the narrow rear buggy hex)

I measured the JConcepts part. It is .267" or 6.79mm. I added a .065" or 1.66mm washer between the hub and the pin, put the pin in then the JConcepts hex. Still looks narrow to me.

Body has been painted. Just need to take photos!

mark,

did you test out the belts? Are rollers needed? Also what tightness did you use?

Finally done and ready for tomorrow! Can't wait to race it. I will admit after all the work I did, I wouldn't mind shelfing it, but I bought it specifically to race at the VONATS.

Way to represent :wink:

clean build with a killer paint job!!

Can I ask why you run the inner holes on the inner steering arms? my thinking is that the inside tire would be at alot steeper angle when turning? I understand they make them with 2 holes on each arm to be setup differently but, Im just curious.
